Yeah you'll find a lot of differing opinions on the landscape issue. I personally think they look very cool, and compliment any landscape. To each, their own though.

Also think they look better then the alternative destruction of the landscape to get at other forms of energy.

Yeah I don't have any pics handy, but but I have a few at home from the top with the bases of the other turbines completely shrouded in fog, but the skies above were clear. Its really cool.

I would love to see them here on the NC coast, Hell they can tower over forests in areas where you couldn't even see them....

I can look out my window and see the the Tehachapi wind farms, it's pretty cool when they are all spinning, but damn those big fans blow the bike around when they are all turned on...LOL

My youngest son is windmill tech for GES, but in the midwest....

I'm just jealous that people can still ride. It's a high of 32 today in cold, flurrying SE New York. Bike sitting in storage with battery tender and she must be as lonely and bored as I am and it's just now December. Very jealous. Enjoy! Nice pics.

Never knew how large they were. Went atv riding in Coal Creek, Tn a few years back. Got to stop near one . It was hard to believe 109ft long blades. Also was neat how slight of air movement will make them turn.

We have a large windfarm in Texas. Close to lubbock. I like stopping and taking pics.
